Step 1: Grind Out a Sizable Bank Roll By Doing the Easy Stuff

Madden 17 MUT

Ultimate Team, of course, is back in Madden NFL 17. It’s a game mode that can be quite addicting if you let it get your hooks into you, and it might be tempting to spend your real life money on it. However, getting coins fast in MUT just requires a little bit of effort upfront that will pay off later. You first need to establish a nest egg of coins that you’re going to invest in other places later. You want to be somewhere around 20,000 coins. Playing games are the most obvious way to get coins, but there are other methods that you should tap into first.

The first thing you should do is knock out MUT’s rotating objectives as these are a steady stream of easy coins. These can be as simple as just auto generating a lineup to a certain skill level and/or completing some solo challenges. Completing all of them could earn up coins totaling up to 1,000 coins or possibly even more. So it’s definitely worth doing every chance you get.

After that, look to complete as many of the solo challenges as you have the patience for. There are a bunch that can be completed right at the start, and are a source of some extremely easy coins. They move pretty quickly and before you know it, you’ll have a decent amount of coins to play around with. If you get bored of solo challenges, go ahead and give online a shot, just be warned that you could get smacked around using such a low level team.

However way you choose to get there, your goal is around 20,000 coins before moving onto step 2.

Step 2: Frequent the Auction House

Madden 17 MUT

The Auction House will be your home outside of games in Madden NFL 17. When you’re not grinding out coins, beating in ranked or whatever floats your boat in MUT, you’re at the auction house. Why? Because it is by far the best place to turn a profit in Ultimate Team.

What you want to do is study the market, really pay attention to what cards normally go for, and try to find deals and cards that are going for a price much lower than normal. If you see a card going for cheap, pick it up even if you don’t plan to actually use it in-game. Once you win, flip it for a higher price than what you got it for. It might only be for a few hundred coins, but if you’re doing this across multiple auctions and have a bunch going on at once, it definitely adds up. There are certain positions that are going to be worth more than others. If you pull something like an FB that you can live without, consider throwing that right onto the auction house for some quick coins. Very rarely is it worth it to quick sell cards. If you’re patient you can sell them for more on the Auction House, or at least add them to a set. Badges are also always good to flip as well. If you’re not trying to use them yourself, try to flip badges just as you would the cards. They usually sell fast, and for a high price too.

All is fair in love and MUT. Take advantage of your fellow player’s impatience and wheel and deal. Find low prices from people just looking to sell something quick and resell it for a profit.

Step 3: Never Buy Packs

Madden 17 MUT

Never ever spend your coins on packs in Madden 17 MUT unless you really like to live dangerously. Yes, this tip is more about not wasting the coins you get rather than earning coins. However, any rich person will tell you that you don’t get to be rich by wasting your money. Same goes for coins in MUT.

Packs are incredibly unreliable, and will usually leave you disappointed more often than not. Yes you might get extremely lucky and pull something worth a lot, but more likely you’re going to get a bunch of cards you don’t need, and/or don’t fit your scheme. Instead, if you want cards, go to the Auction House and pick out exactly what you want.

Step 4: Get Out There and Play… But be Smart About It

Madden 17 MUT

There’s only so much time you can spend in menus. At some point, you just want to use the damn team. Go for it, but be efficient if you really want to be flush with coins in Madden 17.

When playing online, if you got the win secured, don’t run up the score if you don’t need to. Waste time and finish people off as quickly as possible. If you have the spare tickets and are confident in your team, enter tournaments and go for the top prizes where you can get some potentially lucrative rewards.

Finally, try to stick to a scheme instead of wasting coins going back and forth. While Madden 17 is a little more forgiving with Chemistry than it was with Style (allowing you to mix and match), you still want to try and hone in as much as possible instead of having players from a bunch of different schemes. Yes it might suck that your favorite player is associated with a scheme you don’t like, but if you want a swimming pool of coins that you can dive in, do the right thing and sell him.

That does it for our guide on how to get coins fast and easy in Madden 17 Ultimate Team (MUT). Do you have a strategy that works too or maybe even better? Please share it in the comments! Good luck out there, MUT head.
